Troubleshooting
Issue
Grammarly is Asking for an Access Code
Some students and faculty who have been using Grammarly for a while may be asked for an access code to use their account.
Cause
This issue may happen for one of the following reasons:
1. If you did not sign up for Grammarly using your official Franklin email address that ends with "@franklin.edu".
2. If you signed up for an account using the standard Grammarly page rather than using the correct education sign-up page: https://www.grammarly.com/edu/signup
However, if you signed up with your official Franklin email address and still have an active Franklin account, your Grammarly account can still be converted so that you are no longer asked for the code.
Remedy
1. Explain the issue to the Learning Commons at: slc@franklin.edu
2. Provide the email address you used to sign up.
3. Indicate if you are a current student, alumni, faculty, or other.
